*help.txt* For Vim version 7.4. Last change: 2012 Dec 06 VIM - main help file k Move around: Use the cursor keys, or "h" to go left, h l "j" to go down, "k" to go up, "l" to go right. j Close this window: Use ":q<Enter>". Get out of Vim: Use ":qa!<Enter>" (careful, all changes are lost!). Jump to a subject: Position the cursor on a tag (e.g. |bars|) and hit CTRL-]. With the mouse: ":set mouse=a" to enable the mouse (in xterm or GUI). Double-click the left mouse button on a tag, e.g. |bars|. Jump back: Type CTRL-T or CTRL-O (repeat to go further back). Get specific help: It is possible to go directly to whatever you want help on, by giving an argument to the |:help| command. It is possible to further specify the context: *help-context* WHAT PREPEND EXAMPLE ~ Normal mode command (nothing) :help x Visual mode command v_ :help v_u Insert mode command i_ :help i_<Esc> Command-line command : :help :quit Command-line editing c_ :help c_<Del> Vim command argument - :help -r Option ' :help 'textwidth' Search for help: Type ":help word", then hit CTRL-D to see matching help entries for "word". Or use ":helpgrep word". |:helpgrep| VIM stands for Vi IMproved. Most of VIM was made by Bram Moolenaar, but only through the help of many others.

Note that tags are within | characters, but when highlighting is enabled these characters are hidden. That makes it easier to read a command. Anyway, you can use CTRL-] on any word, also when it is not within |, and Vim will try to find help for it. Especially for options in single quotes, e.g. 'compatible'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vim:tw=78:fo=tcq2:isk=!-~,^*,^\|,^\":ts=8:ft=help:norl:
